[quote=Anonymous]I'm on prom #2 with kid #2. Both boys.

I assume he is a 16-year-old jr? My kids schools did prom for 11th and 12th grades.

He will want to rent a tux with all the trappings - shirt, tie, maybe even shoes.

He should buy a corsage for his date that goes with her dress, and she will buy the buttoniere for him. Large florists tend to carry affordable corsages, but he needs to order a few days ahead of time. Most girls prefer wrist corsages (on an elastic band) to the ones that pin on.

The drinking and sex at my kids' schools were at the afterparty, not at the prom. The proms were tightly supervised and getting caught drinking meant a suspension and, for srs, a letter to your college.

My sons did not go to afterparties as jrs. They were allowed to go as srs - one did, the other can't because of a morning activity the next day.

He should be sure he knows who is paying for what - is his date buying him a ticket, since she invited him, or are they each buying their own?[/quote]
